  1. 11. Common risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction: Population-based studies with a focus on gender differences

    Författare :Charlotte A Larsson; Samhällsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cortisol; insulin resistance; abdominal obesity; hypertension; type 2 diabetes; population-based; AMI; gender differences; physical activity; left ventricular hypertrophy;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the risk for AMI, and the associations between several of its risk factors, differs by gender. Information was collected from four Swedish cohorts: one patient cohort from Skara (1992-1993, n=1149) and three population-based cohorts, i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Structural, functional and metabolic effects of growth hormone on nomal and failing heart

    Författare :Entela Bollano; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; myocardial infarction; echocardiography; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; left ventricular remodelling;

    Sammanfattning : The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor I (GH/IGF-I) system plays an important role for cardiac development, structure and function. Recently, data from experimental and clinical studies have suggested the use of GH as treatment after myocardial infarction (MI) affecting cardiac remodeling and development of heart failureThe aim of this thesis was to study the effects of GH on cardiac structure, function and energy metabolism in normal and failing heart.

  4. 13. About hyaluronan in the hypertrophic heart : studies on coordinated regulation of extracellular matrix signalling

    Författare :Urban Hellman; Anders Waldenström; Stellan Mörner; Anna Engström-Laurent; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :hyaluronan; hyaluronan synthases; gene expression; extracellular matrix; cardiac hypertrophy; rat wistar; male ; cardiomyocytes; growth factors; fibroblasts; microvesicles; exosomes; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Myocardial hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Independent of underlying disease, the cardiac muscle strives in different ways to compensate for an increased workload. This remodelling of the heart includes changes in the extracellular matrix which will affect systolic and diastolic cardiac function. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Hyaluronan and the receptor CD 44 in the heart and vessels : a study in normal and pathological conditions

    Författare :Martin Hellström; Anna Engström-Laurent; Bengt Johansson; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :hyaluronan; CD44; heart; Rat; cardiac hypertrophy; artery; vein; human; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Tissues are not solely composed of cells. The extracellular matrix is important for the cell well-being and cell-cell communication. The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HYA) is a widely distributed extracellular matrix (ECM) component. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Advanced electrocardiography in myocardial electrical remodeling : insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Författare :Maren Maanja; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common diagnostic tool in cardiology thanks to its high accessibility and low cost. However, in several cardiovascular diagnoses, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), current conventional ECG measures and criteria have a poor diagnostic performance. LÄS MER
